I love how visible Fifth + Broadway is from... well, Broadway. A lot of the pictures taken there, and just visual angles, thanks mainly to the height of the bars and whatnot, are completely devoid of towers, with the occasional exception of Pinnacle and AT&T... these towers are actually kind of a big change.

Anyone have an idea of what is going on here?  **Edit** It is off Granny White near the Tyne Blvd intersection not far from Radnor Lake entrance 

Here is a Google maps screen capture of the same house. I am very confused as the house has been like this for a few months.

The Granny White house, and another one next door, were propped up and completely rebuilt.   I am not sure why the roof was saved but they went to a lot of trouble to do it,  so there must be a reason.

 

 

I should point out the the house bigeasy was talking about is the one directly above.  The large white house is to the right of it.  But both were renovations.

Awesome!! Thanks for posting that. I didn't know at the time I posted last year, but come to find out that my wife (girlfriend at this time last year) actually lived in the house on stilts when she first moved to Nashville about 5 years ago.

A buddy of mine here in the Greater Washington DC area visited Nashville for the first time last year.  He actually commented on how you could forget that you're in a big city when you're on Broadway bar hopping because you don't see the skyline .  He said it was like being on  main street in a small town but with too much traffic and drunk hillbillies... LOL

Ahhh, but that's the 'charm' that the MDHA loves to preserve. Anything of substance must not be allowed to encroach on the Honky Tonk experience. It's really sort of a two-edged sword... millions visit Music City just for that.

I understand MDHA (or whatever government entity) can hold Nashville back on certain developments, but wrt Broadway, there is nothing I would change about it.

Sadly the puppeteer of Oscar the Grouch and actor of Big Bird is chilling in heaven

While complying strictly with the "stay a home" order, I was able to photograph a few of the wildflowers and flowering trees in the southern part of the county.  This is not very urban but it definitely pertains to the Planet.

@NativeThanks for these. BTW, to clarify, you can enjoy the greenways and parks as long as you observe the 6 foot social distancing guideline.

I wouldn't take Broadway back 30 years like some, but I'd be okay with taking it back 10 or 15, prior to the era of FGL House, Whiskey Row, and Kid Rock's...

I found an interesting site 360cities that hosts panorama views from various cities. The Broadwest Development posted a few nice ones from up high.. a couple of caps...Midtown...
